Tenuta San Guido
Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 1988
At 28 years, this wine is just starting to mature. After a good 3+ hour decant, the wine started to wake up from its slumber. Powerful juice with integrated tannins. — 10 years ago

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Third of 3 Napa cabs I've had tonight, and by far the best. Open for a few hours before finally trying and it is so damn floral. Soft red fruits dominate the palate, with a hint of dark chocolate and that new American oak smell/taste. The color is a dark magenta and pretty. All I need is a big ol' filet mignon to eat with this. — 10 years ago

Of the 2 Bordeaux drinking the best tonight, but long term the Brane-Cantenac 2005 will outlive this wine by 10 years easy. While very complex, a fine touch a green is traceable.
A classic currant and forest floor nose, fall leaves abound with a spike of spice and a barely there green that while subtle is apparent.
The pleasure here is higher for its more mature tasted and feel, while the brawny 2005 is a better wine it was not as enjoyable to me and feel it will be another notch enter in 3 years, and likely 2 notches better in 5.
The elegance and feel on this wine is ready to go and will easily go another 5+ years. — 10 years ago
